How's your mood? Believe it or not, it may be due to something you ate. I've been noticing a lot of articles and books out now about how what you eat can boost your mood -- or make you "crash." Maybe you've read some of these as well.
I know that personally I find it very interesting. And I've observed the same connection (usually when I've been tempted by something sweet!). What it seems to come down to is that eating healthily is not only good for the body, but also the emotions.
Those foods that generally are "bad" for us, weight- and health-wise – full of sugar or fat – are also the culprits that can affect our blood sugar levels and send our moods plummeting. So, to keep our energy and mood levels up, it's best to concentrate on fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meat and fish, beans, whole grains and nuts, low-fat dairy products. And, of course, moderate caffeine and alcohol intake.
So, the next time you feel the need for your favorite "comfort" food, why not make it in a healthy version – like some fruit, or low-fat cheese and wholegrain cracker, or some low-fat cocoa. I guess Mother Nature knows best, after all!
who Would have Thought O2? i would be talking about health on food...
